West Ham 2 Aston Villa 2 (11/05/08)
Not sure if my facts are right but a clean sheet (non existent without Upson) next week would mean a best ever defensive record for us in the Premiership...and best ever in top flight since????

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
Something extremely positive to take out of this season (especially considering the 16 goals let in in 4 games)bubbles1966 wrote:Not sure if my facts are right but a clean sheet (non existent without Upson) next week would mean a best ever defensive record for us in the Premiership...and best ever in top flight since????

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
Wigan are 2 up at the moment, a loss here should put pay to their European dreams and give them nothing to play for next week

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
It would be good to go out with a top performance and 3 points. It would also keep us in 10th spot

Spurs need to beat Liverpool to finish above us. Suspect they'll draw and so will we.one mcavennie wrote:West ham to not care or bottle it or both. Sp*rs get point or win and finish above us

11th or 12th sh*t season
There is a degree of psychological importance and local pride in wanting to at least finish 10th.

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
Curbs needs a good performance in this game to dispel any thouhts of being fired. If we roll over then I would expect the pressure to replace him will really be turned up.

If we reach then and Bellamy, Faubert, Dyer, Upson etc aren't ready for pre-season training all hell will break loose.

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
Liverpoll have got nothing to gain or lose whatever the result v the spuds. They will be going down to dat dare London with nowt at stake.
If l'Arse turn over Everton tomorrow, Villa still have a chance to pip them at the post and get into l'Europe if they beat us. Everton have got the barcodes - not an easy last game.
In short - the liklihood is we will need to put in a first rate performance.

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
Does anyone believe the rumours that Curbishley could be sacked if we lose to Villa? I think we will finish tenth, but if we don't does anyone think Gudmansson will bring someone new in?

Re: West Ham v Aston Villa
I reckon Curbs had one objective - to finish in the top half. If we finish 11th he's failed.
That's how ruthless running a business is these days.
